FAO: Portsmouth Football Club

Steve Moran... Rickie Lambert... who's the next man to write himself into the history books?

Been a long time coming this... we'll ****ing smash them!!!

 

We play 3 games I think before this one.

I don’t care about any of them.

Please Saints, thrash them.

Didn’t you only draw?

Then went down.

Whilst we went up.

And it’s been the same ever since?

 

Oh ffs a plastic Scouser is flying the flag for the Skates.

Just when I thought they couldn't get any lower

 

To the players: Forget big salaries or winning trophies.

Scoring the winner against Pompey will put you into Southampton folklore for the rest of your days.

 

Limbs in the Itchen North for this one.

 

Derby Match on my Birthday! **** yes that'll do.

 

The state of that pitch. Also, Moran sprinting off the pitch for safety at the end

My dad bought me and my brother that Pompey shirt. We were both guilty of wearing it, but there's actual photographic evidence of my brother wearing it. Not of me though

We might well have been at this game, in the Pompey end. I'd have been six though, so I don't remember.

Here's a funny stat; in the 88/89 season, Chelsea finished top and Man City were second... Of Division Two! (No joke either)

 

Oh dear God I love that man so much

 

For me taking three points against the might of Manchester United and another 3 against Tottenham far surpasses beating Pompey at this moment in time. And as history suggests, it is not as if Saints will get that much further in this competition as they are not regulars in semi finals or finals.

 

But we are likely to win the Premier League of course.

 

Of course. I would have thought getting as high a points total in the PL far outweighs the Carabou Cup. So that means beating Manchester United once in a while, and Tottenham. Of course it would be great to win the competiton but that is a tall order as it seems to head to Manchester or Chelsea quite often these days.

 

We've made one final out of the past three?

Name a team that's not City who beat that currently

 

I'll take 15th n 4th round of the cup over 13th and the 3rd

 

And four in the past 43 years, so that´s an average of one final per 10 years. It would be wonderful to become regular finalists and winners, but that is turning history on its head.

 

All the Pompey fans I know of have been celebrating getting us too. They must fancy pulling off an upset at their place given we’ve been pretty **** for the last two seasons.
